Hey! It just struck me when a friend of mine commented how fast i eat. Imagine, i can eat a meal for a few minutes. Few means 3-5 minutes. I usually do this in front of others and i don't mind how fast i do it until one friend straightforwardly told me. I tried to slow down but it really gives me a pleasure to eat fast. How about you? How long do you eat a meal? How should one eat a meal anyway?

I am a fast eater. There is never enough time to sit down and eat at work in a relaxed atmosphere. But I do have stomach problems too now from fast for years. I think taking the time to chew up your food and taking your time eating is better than eating fast because eating fast in my opinion can cause problems. So slow down with that eating, try to enjoy what you eat, and hopefully you will not develop stomach problems like I did later on down the road!

Well it depends on my fellow eater, if I noticed that the fellow eater is a fast eater or a slower eater, I will match my eating habit to them.. but naturally i am in the middle of the two choices. I can eat many but somtimes I ate very little. it will depend on my appetite..

Hi rizam03, when I was in the military I used to eat fast because we were trained to eat that way. Now that I have been out the military for eight years I have slowed down. So right now I would say I'm in between fast and slow. Happy myLotting!

Slow, cos I bite and munch properly. Its is good when enter my stomach and digested properly. That is why I'm slow eater. Like the goat, sheep and cow etc. They collect in the mouth and munch properly so digested for good.

It depends. If I am eating alone, I usually have it completed very fast because there is no other things to do. When I am focused on something, I can complete it real fast.
Now, if I am having dinner with a friend, of course I won't be in such a hurry. I will chat with friend while having the dinner. So, in the end, it all depends.

IT depends..IF i'm very very hungry, theni'm a fast eater. OFcourse, all the magazines etc say that you should eat slow b/c it takes 20 mniutes for the body to realize whether it's full or not.../If you eat too fast, then you may overeat since your body hasn't had the chance to feel full...As well, if you overeat, you won't enjoy the meal as much:)

I can actually be either or. Since my main job is limited to 1,000 hours a year, we usually only get about 15 minutes to eat, depending on our work schedule for that day. I can eat fast if I have to, like when I'm at work and have a short break. However, if I am not in a time crunch, then I eat slowly.

well how fast one can eat???????
for me it depends on the temperature of the food, the type of dish, and the place where i am having my meal......i generally am a fast eater i finish my meal in not less than 5min this an average.......as i said if the food is hot then it takes time...and if i am having my favorite dish such as egg or Chinese no matter how hot or cold the food is my plate is cleaned in less than 3mins.....if i am having my meal in a restaurant then i have to follow the table manners and have the food accordingly......but i can say that i am a fast eater.....i really enjoy every morsel of food that i eat.....
